ICS Half Day Thursdays

The students will get to try their hand at a little bit of everything during our Fine Arts half day classes. We’ll learn about famous artists and use their work as inspiration for our projects.

Students will get the chance to try out an array of art mediums and techniques. We will learn about different forms of printmaking relief, mono and screen printing. The children will be working with clay, both hand build and on the pottery wheel. We will then practice drawing techniques with self portraits and characters. We will focus on composition, layout, perspective, line, and shading.

We will even combine some of the art mediums to create unique mixed media projects. This is a great chance for your child to try out new art processes, while learning about the history of fine art.This class is designed for students in K-4th grade, we tailor our art projects to fit the students age and abilities.

AFTER SCHOOL | PAINTING

While most children become familiar with painting from an early age, our after school painting program takes the basics to a whole new level. Using famous painters as inspiration, students will create beautiful, unique projects while learning design principles like color mixing, line, form, expression, and shading, with a strong emphasis on observational techniques to develop their hand-eye coordination. Some of this semester's projects include a monochromatic Gary Hume-inspired portrait, an abstract painted paper collage based on the work of Jane Davies, and Chuck Close-style watercolor using exaggerated colors and a grid-like pattern. By the end of the painting course, your child will have created a whole gallery of painted works and gained a vital understanding of this beloved medium.
